History​​​​​​​

Francis Smyre was said to have first settled here in 1871 after purchasing land so he could build a home for he and his new bride. Their son Clinton would become the first child to be born in what is today Conover. The community would prosper in part because it was situated at the junction of Southern Railway tracks and a feeder line that ran to Newton, three miles to the south
